The present application discloses a mobile terminal control method, including: receiving a communication request sent by a communication request initiating party, and calculating a time interval between a time when the communication request is received and a time when a previous communication request from the communication request initiating party is received; and if the time interval is greater than a preset threshold, skipping generating a vibrating and/or ringtone alert for the communication request, and detecting an online status of a communications software account associated with the communication request initiating party and sending prompt information to an online communications software account, where the prompt information is used to indicate that a mobile terminal is in a Do Not Disturb mode.

In an illustrative embodiment, a user device may block all the phone numbers used by an enterprise. When an enterprise wants to call the user, the enterprise may notify the user device through a separate secure channel that an enterprise phone number is in the process of making a phone call to the user device. The secure channel may include an authentication server that may request the user device to unblock the enterprise phone number. An incoming phone call from the enterprise phone number therefore can be trusted. After the phone call is terminated, the user device may again block the enterprise phone number. An attacker may not have access to the authentication server and a phone call from the attacker with a spoofed enterprise phone number (now blocked) may be dropped by the user device.

The technology disclosed herein enables regulation of features provided by respective endpoints registered for a user in a multi-endpoint service. In a particular embodiment, a method includes, in response to determining that a first endpoint is being operated by a first user, associating the first endpoint with a primary designation and associating the second endpoint with a secondary designation. The method further includes allowing the first endpoint to provide a first set of communication features in accordance with the primary designation and preventing the second endpoint from providing the first set of communication features in accordance with the secondary designation.

A system and method of providing caller identification (ID) over a public switched telephone network (PSTN). For outbound calls, the system and method enable a caller to provide a caller ID that differs from the native caller ID of their mobile phone. The system and method enable multiple phones tied to a single account to display the same caller ID for outbound calls. For forwarded inbound calls, such as calls being forwarded from an office, the system and method inform the recipient of the identification of the call as well as that the call is being forwarded. The system and method enable the recipient to have calls forwarded from more than one number and identify the identity of the caller as well as the specific number the call is being forwarded from.

A calendar application on a communication device generates a user interface that allows a user to interact with a representation of a calendar event. The calendar application detects a user configuration input indicative of how to control the communication device, in responding to a real-time communication event, during the calendar event. When the real-time communication event is detected during the calendar event, the calendar application controls the communication device based upon the configuration input.

A method applicable to a multi-subscriber identity module (SIM) call management process includes parsing, by a managed device, an incoming call to obtain call information, determining a communications circuit corresponding to a called identifier, and when the managed device has performed an incoming call shielding setting on the communications circuit in response to a remote management instruction sent by an entitlement server (ES), skipping responding, by the managed device, to an incoming call event, or receiving, by the server, a remote management instruction from the ES, and deleting or freezing routing information corresponding to an identifier in response to the remote management instruction such that a communications circuit corresponding to the identifier in the managed device is unable to respond to an incoming call event.
